Fascinating lens, in the UK we have only 1 poisonous snake, the Adder, but they are apparently shy creatures and not too much of a problem.

When I was in India, we stopped to watch a snake charmer. At the end, I leaned forward to put money in the basket, and this sudden movement apparently scared the snake, because it lunged at me. It was only a warning (whew!), but I learned a good lesson that day!
